Our kiddo has marked quite a few milestones in her time with us, but none of those have prepared me for her to move out on her own. I know it is time, but I am still feeling the mommy blues. She is moving to a cute little 1923 bungalow house about 20-30 minutes from us but very close to the college she attends. The landlord will let her paint and she's already plotting what color schemes will look good in which rooms. It's exciting and scary and sad for me all at the same time. I am sure I'm not the first, nor the last parent to experience this array of emotional pulls, but it doesn't make it easier. Mama S is very accepting and fine with the idea of our little girl getting her own place, so she doesn't really understand why I feel the way I do. That's ok though...I guess we all adjust to our child's nest flight differently.
On a completely unrelated note, we received confirmation yesterday that our home study update meeting is a week from today. I have SO MUCH TO DO (but yes, I'm sitting here blogging instead)! We need to clear out the stuff that has accumulated in the other guest/potential kid's room, set up the bed, clean the house, take the cats to the vet for updates on shots, and I need to work on my final exams on top of working weird hours at my school. If all goes well, I'll be able to sleep sometime late in the week next week. We shall see...after all, sleep is overrated when you are a parent, right?
